I came to the Caring Kitchen during a time in my life when I was feeling ashamed, punished, and alone. I could not believe the unexpected turn my life had taken. From the beginning, you showed me genuine kindness, and did not pass judgment. Within a few weeks, I felt like I belonged. I knew that everything I had been through was for a reason, and that God had never left me. He had led me to you. Serving at the Caring Kitchen fulfilled a void in my heart. Thank you for your kindness, support, and friendship.
